5 STEPS TO BECOMING A BETTER DANCER 

I think a big one that would have helped me when I was young was dancing with my head/neck. It wasn't something I was really taught... but it would have made a huge difference.... it almost makes the dancing look more confident.

To this day I think the thing that made me get NOTICEABLY better was watching SO many videos of professionals. Every time you are in the mirror dancing your brain will start to tell you how you need to tweak your body into something it has seen before. It’s kind of crazy how much it made, and continues to make me WAY better.

I'm so happy that this video didn't have the same tips as every other dance advice video. These tips are unique and extremely helpful :)

I have seen so much more maturity and expression in your dancing the last 2 years. It has been lovely to watch.

You should be a teacher when you're older! You are really good at explaining things and I would love to take a class from you.

Thank you sm Mackenzie. I’m 12 and I have been doing ballet for almost 8 years now. I’m not a good ballet dancer tough. Like I just panic so much and screw up. We’re preparing to Alice in wonderland and I really want a solo role so this helped me a lot. Please do more tutorials on how to do specific ballet moves, and more tutorials like this! Again, this helped me a LOT! Keep up the great work ❤❤ Edit: While I was rewatching some ballet videos, I found my comment and I wanted to update how it’s going for me! I couldn’t get a solo yet, but Im dancing much better now and I feel like I’ve improved a lot. Im also dancing on pointe now so yeah! Im gonna enter a ballet exam next week and I have to do a solo dance, I’ll probably update this in a few years, I hope I get a solo next yearr❤❤ (Im 13 now:))

Mackenzie I love your videos. I didn't start ballet until age 47 and your videos have helped me both laugh and improve.

Watching professionals really helps you adopt their artistry and mannerisms and that translates to your stage presence and expression and really helps with your overall performance quality outside of technique

You are such an inspiration Mackenzie! I love watching your videos and can’t wait to see what new leos you make. You always amaze me with your creativity and how you keep going. As a dancer I know it can be very difficult at times and I just wanted to thank you.

You are n Amazing Dancer Mackenzie!! I love to watch your videos and really look up to you. You work super hard in dance and i've seen it first-hand when I see you at GRB! This video helped to to improve my dancing so much. Thank you for being here for all of us!!

thank you so much makenzie!! your such an inspiration

These are great tips! I can relate to the one about listening to the teachers!

This video was really helpful , you're so inspiring 💙 One of my other inspiration in ballet is Maria Khoreva 💙

I love your videos you are super talented and amazing I have been doing ballet since I was 2 years old so I have been doing it for 9 years! You are such an inspiration and I am always looking forward to one of your new videos!🥰

Im 14 and I used to do dance when I was younger. I sadly quit because I unfortunately got bullied by the kids and even the teachers. For a couple of years now I’ve been wanting to get back into it again, but I’ve been afraid. I decided to start dancing at home to get more comfortable and confident, so when I watched this video I found this super helpful! Thank you so much ❤

This has helped me so much I watched this video a year ago and my life has changed with so many opportunities to dance for different people thank you so much! Love❤

Being a dance that has just come back from an injury, I need to improve my technique. This helped a ton! Thank you!

can we just talk about that leotard tho- IM IN LOVE 🫢

It always makes my day when you post

This is amazing!! I'm going to start watching professionals and take notes! And for sure going to be more passionate in class! And just be happy to dance. :D

My arms always look really weak while I dance so I love the way you describe holding your arms from your back 💕

THIS IS SO HELPFUL TYSM

Thank youu I really needed yhis video

Thank you! this really helped me! I just came back from a year break of dance because of some leg pain ever since last november. I wanted to get back into dance and when i got back i improved by doing some of the stuff you said in your video, it turns out that i was better at dance now than before my leg pain started. I was able to balance longer and my pirouettes were a lot better to the point that i could actually do two turns. This journey has been very difficult but with video it made a whole lot easier, keep in mind i’m 12 now.

great video! extremely grateful for this, i am just a begginer so every advice are very important to me

Love seeing you back on youtube!

I've been doing ballet for 12 years and had 4 auditions now, I'd have had more but since 2019 we couldnt because of covid obviously but anyway, the 4th one was actually yesterday and i realised how much i love dancing on a stage and only that inspired me to get way better now😭

Me ha encantado tu video ! Cuanta razón tienes ! Yo voy a una clase de ballet para adultos pero me ha ayudado mucho ver videos de bailarinas profesionales , ver sus movimientos , como mueven los brazos ! Sentir la música y ponerle pasión, que importante es ! Muchas gracias por tus videos ❤

omg so happy u posted 😃😊❤💕😍

I’m so much better now tysmmmm

youre so good❤

I wanna be a dancer one day! I hope I can do it😊

what ballet school are you with?

Absolutely crazy but I’ve been doing pointe for four months now my shoes are dead and my teacher is loving my feet

trying to improve in 2 weeks at least a bit! i’m trying out for the level you start pointe in soon and i’m trying to improve small things so i pass

paying attention to detail, it matters in so many ways in our lives.

You should do a video that is coaches vs ballet teachers

I’m 11, and I’m a level 4 going to 5 and I’m almsot 12 did I start to late?

ilyyy

Do you have layers? You hair is beautiful and I’d love to get the same style!

Who else watched this than started being good at ballet

Hi thanks for making a new vid

Ive never been this early for anything

not to bring up black swan but the demo of supported arms vs not remins me of Nina vs Lily dancing style

Can you make part 2?

Niceeeeeee

wow, these tips were awesome!

Agh I’m early!! Yay!!

How do y'all learn choreo btw? I am very confused, as a kinda self-taught dancer, where from do I know which moves are right and okay or perhaps I caught smtn wrong (don't ask many issues with that) cuz I do my own choreo mostly and yeah help

hey, this is cool 😊

I have zero dancing experience, I’m very old and I always wanted to learn how to dance , but I very discouraged .

To be honest when she said that when she was younger she watched professional dancers and then said that she did that when she was 16 my jaw literally dropped. I thought that she was 16 she looks so young

First!!!

Slay

Hey, it’s you again.

Mackenzie❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😄

My legs are tree trunks. I gotta get these bad boys danceable

I have watched you grow as a dancer - and a person - for a long time. You clearly would make a talented mistress when you no longer perform. Meantime I know I will see you dancing in front of audiences far and wide - with your trademark passion xx

If you’re watching this wondering “should I start dance I think it’s too late what if I’m with pros or even 5 year olds!” DONT WORRY the place I go there’s just a huge mixture of people BUT others may be just your age group.If the students there are toxic inform your teachers if Teachers are toxic STUDIO HOP

My daughter is a good dancer

I don't have those shoes 😭

hai like dance mi 😍😘

Why the fuck does redhead ballet dancer Mackenzie Davis and her older sister Katelyn both have blue or green or light colored eyes if redhead ballet dancer Mackenzie Davis's biological dad has brown eyes? 🎭🩰🎨
